cluding the main residence, a beach hou- ~n^ two garages each abl~
^o accommodate three cars, with on° ^f the a having an apart-
ment in it. The property also includes three vehicle c , furnishings
and equipment. The property may be of interest to the University
because of it at potential u^- r ulness to the marine biology pro-
gram. Presently, what is involved in our negotiations is the 7 '8
interest in the property whi^h i^ now held by the v in" Haven ^unda-
tion. The remaining 1/8 of the property is in the possession of ttr
American Humane Education So y of Boston TT hieh received it from
Mr. Peabody prior to his death.
The Provost said that it was an excellent location for
biological research because it is in a unigu° location where both
north-— n and southern flora and fauna overlap. It would be an ideal
site for ecological studies, The Recreation Department would be in-
terested in having access to the property for its program purposes.
The Food Science and Technology research programs coul - 1 make good
use of this property. "Th- Nantucket property would provide a site
away from the campus for seminars and study groups which is not at
present available to the University. There is a possible use of the
property in the Fine Arts program and he al c o indicated that the
ia Mitchell Foundation would be delighted to have some access to
the property in connection with its responsibilities for instruction

POLICY ON COMPENSATION FOR CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
WHEREAS it is the responsibility of every unitf^rsity to promote and encourage the
search for new truth and knowledge for the benefit of mankind, and
WHEREAS a state university is distinctive in its emphasis on research and the
dissemination of research findings as a service to the citizens of the state
and nation, and
WHEREAS there is a great need for more highly trained research scientists and
teachers, and
WHEREAS the University of Massachusetts maintains and supports a Graduate School
for the purpose of providing training at the Master's and Doctoral levels, and
WHEREAS in order to provide such training the University of Massachusetts must main-
tain a highly qualified faculty which is itself competent in and interested
research, and
in
WHEREAS such a faculty will be more productive and stimulating in the teaching of
students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and
WHEREAS a university is recognized for the scholarly and creative work of its
faculty, and
WHEREAS it is the policy of the University of Massachusetts to expect each member
of the faculty to teach, engage in research and/or other scholarly and creative
work, and to perform a service role to and for the University including the
academic advisement and counseling of students, and
WHEREAS it is also the policy of the University to undertake research sponsored and
paid for by grants or contracts from agencies of the federal government, founda-
tions, business, or other sources outside the University, and
WHEREAS such sponsored research is of great economic advantage to the Commonwealth
in that it both supports research that might otherwise require state appropria-
tions and provides new processes for development by Massachusetts industrial
and agricultural interests,
THEREFORE, it is the policy of the University of Massachusetts to permit compensa-
tion for certain additional professional services within the following policies:
-
-2-
The first duty and first loyalty of a member of the faculty is to the Uni-
versity. He is under obligation to render to the University the most effective
service of which he is capable. No outside service shall be undertaken, whether
with or without pay, that might interfere with the discharge of this paramount
obligation.
In view of the fact that the University operates on a six-day class week
members of the faculty are permitted, when approved, the equivalent of one day per
week for sponsored research, consulting, or other activities related to their pro-
fession for which additional compensation may be received. Under no circumstances,
however, are members of the faculty to be given any reduction in normal teaching,
service, or other assigned load on account of performance of such other activities.
I. Research; including sponsored research i. e. research contracted by the
University with outside agencies .
1. It is the responsibility and the duty of all deans and department heads to
give faculty members as much encouragement as possible to do research as a normal
part of their employment. When released time for sponsored research is authorized
no loss of so-called fringe benefits should occur because an equivalent portion of
the faculty member's base salary should be budgeted in advance against, and charged
to, the grant or contract of the agency sponsoring the research, provided, that such
charge is permissible within the policies of the agency sponsoring the research.
2. University participation in tests and investigations shall be limited to
activities which lead to the extension of knowledge or to increased effectiveness
in teaching. Routine tasks of commonplace type will not be undertaken except where
it is shown conclusively to the appropriate University officials that satisfactory
facilities for such services do not exist elsewhere.
3. Research proposals shall bear the approval of the principal investigator,
the department head, the academic dean (or in the case of agriculture, the Director
of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station) and the Dean of the Graduate
School and Coordinator of Research before being submitted to the Treasurer of the
University for execution. Two extra copies of the proposal shall be submitted for
the files of the Provost's Office and the Treasurer's Office.
4. Members of the faculty on academic year appointment are encouraged to
participate in sponsored research and may, when approved by the Trustees, receive
additional compensation in addition to the budgeted salary. Such additional com-
pensation may be earned during the Summer months (i.e., between Commencement and
Fall Registration) and/or during the academic year, providing in the latter case
additional compensation does not exceed the equivalent of one day per week during
the academic year. Such compensation must be permissible within the policies of the
agency sponsoring the research and must be charged to the sponsor's funds. Addi-
tional compensation shall be computed at the rate of l/40th of the faculty member's
then current academic year salary for each full week of research service, or 1 /200th
of the faculty member's then current academic year salary for each full day of re-
search service. Ordinarily maximum additional compensation from sponsored research
shall not exceed 25% of the faculty member's then current academic year salary.
5. Members of the faculty on calendar year appointment are permitted to
participate in sponsored research and may, when approved by the Trustees, receive
additional compensation in addition to the budgeted salary. Such additional
m mi uu __
'L.
-3-
coinpensation may be earned during their vacation periods or during the portion of
the calendar year when not on vacation leave provided that, in the latter case, it
does not exceed the equivalent of one day per week. Such additional compensation
shall be computed at the faculty member's then current weekly or daily rate of
salary for each full week or full day of research service; provided, that such
compensation is permissible within the policies of the agency sponsoring the re-
search and must be charged to the sponsor's funds Ordinarily, maximum additional
compensation from sponsored research shall not exceed 25% of the faculty member's
then current calendar year salary.
6, When additional compensation is to be paid for sponsored research, such
funds must be budgeted in advance against, and charged to, the contract or grant
executed with the agency sponsoring the research. Funds received as a result of an
agreement with the University for the performance of research are funds belonging
to the University, notwithstanding the fact that the agreement may have resulted
from negotiations by an individual member of the faculty c Such funds, therefore,
shall be administered in accordance with regular procedures governing trust funds.
II. Other Activities
1. Members of the faculty are permitted to accept outside service of a pro-
fessional nature, with or without pay, only providing it conforms to the following
stated principles.
(a) A faculty member undertaking outside service shall inform the head of
his department of the nature and extent of such activities and must obtain
prior permission from the head of the department and the Dean of his College
or School before undertaking such outside service. A department head under-
taking outside service shall inform his dean of the nature and extent of such
activities and must obtain prior permission from the dean before undertaking
such service. A record of all such outside service shall be reported to the
Provost.
When approved by the department head and dean, members of the Faculty
are permitted to teach under the four-college cooperative plan at approved
salaries which have been established by the Four-College Cooperative Plan,
Teaching for the University at other off- campus locations may, when approved,
be compensated at such rates as the Trustees may determine.
(b) No member of the faculty shall accept or retain employment which would
bring him as an expert, or in any other capacity, into conflict with the
interests of the University or its programs of Cooperative Extension and Con-
trol Service or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and if in his opinion, pro-
posed employment might involve such conflict, he shall disclose the relevant
facts when seeking the permission required under (a) above.
(c) As a state-supported institution the University is under obligation to
render service to the people of the Commonwealth so far as this may be
practical. The appropriate school dean or other University officer shall
decide whether and to what extent this obligation can be met in the circum-
stances of any particular case.
u , m m
A
-4-
(d) The University assumes no responsibility for private professional
service rendered by members of the faculty. When a faculty member does
work in a private capacity he must make it clear to those who employ him
that his work is unofficial. No official University stationery or forms
shall be used in connection with such work nor shall the name of the
University be used in any advertising or in any other way without the ex-
press consent of the University, given in writing by the President.
2. If University facilities, equipment, or supplies are required for
private professional services, approval for the use of such facilities, equipment
or supplies must be obtained from the department head and dean, A reasonable fee
shall be paid to the University for the use of such facilities, equipment and
supplies. This fee shall be determined by the Treasurer of the University upon
the recommendation of the respective dean.

PROSPECTUS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE MASSACHUSETTS POPULATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE
I, Purpose:
Concern for the nature of population growth and change is assuming an in-
creasingly important role in contemporary thought. As the coverage and depth
of demographic data expand, there arises a need for the training of personnel
capable of interpreting these data and applying the knowledge thus gained to
the practical problems facing today's administrators and planners. More
specifically, the United States and Massachusetts State censuses provide a
wealth of data potentially of value in long range planning by the University
and the Commonwealth, as well as in the development of a highly valuable re-
source for scholarly research. Although, as a university we are primarily
interested in the latter, there is no ouestion but that the former should be
of some concern. These two purposes, the service and the scholarly, underlie
the proposed formal establishment of the Massachusetts Population Research
Institute as an adjunct to the Department of Sociology and Anthropology,
University of Massachusetts*
lit Organization:
The Institute will be administratively within the Department of Sociology
and Anthropology* The Director of the Institute will be a member of the
University faculty recommended by the Chairmen of the Department of Sociology
and Anthropology to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and the
Provost, All other professional personnel of the Institute will be recom-
mended by the Chairman of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in
the same manner. The appointment of graduate students to Institute fellow-
ships will be on the recommendation of the Director of the Institute and will
follow the regular University policy for granting graduate stipends.
The Institute will have a policy board appointed by the President consisting
of at least four members: the Institute Director, the Chairman of the
Department of Sociology-Anthropology, the Dean of the Graduate School, and
at least one other member from the University faculty or administration,
other educational institutions, and/or appropriate private industries or non-
profit agencies. This board will meet as necessary to review the policies
of the Institute and make recommendations,,
The Director of the Institute will maintain liaison with the Dean of the
Graduate School and the Coordinator of Research so that the activities of
the Institute affecting graduate training and research will conform to Univer-
sity policies developed at this level. All graduate students who make use of
Institute files and other facilities in theses and dissertations for higher
degrees will be responsible to the advisory committees of their major depart-
ments and any reconmerdations for the granting of higher degrees to these
graduate students will originate in their major departments according to the
regulations set up by the Dean of the Graduate School*
The activities of the Institute will be subject to review and recommendations
of the University Research Council, All grants and contracts entered into
by the Institute will be administered as trust funds by the Treasurer of the

University and will be subject to approval by the Board of Trustees of the
University.
If and when a University Research Foundation is established, the Institute
may be considered for incorporation as a branch of the Foundation*
III. Personnel:
The present personnel of the Institute consists of Dr. Thomas 0. Wilkinson
of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology as Institute Director, four
graduate students on graduate assistantships supported by the Extension
Service, College of Agriculture, and a half-time clerk* Any future expansion
of professional personnel will be on the recommendation of the Chairman of the
Department of Sociology- Anthropology to tha Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences and the Provost. Graduate fellowships will be increased as necessary
from funds available through the grants of sponsors of Institute projects.
IV. History of the Institute:
In August, 1961, representatives of the Department of Sociology and Anthro-
pology and the Department of Agricultural and Food Economics met with
President Lederle, Provost Woodside and Dean Hunsberger. This meeting was
called specifically to explore the possibilities for creating the Population
Institute. At this time the Department of Sociology and Anthropology re-
ceived the informal approval of President Lederle to set up the Institute on
a trial basis. Dr. Thomas 0. Wilkinson of the Department of Sociology-
Anthropology was to act as director with funds supplied through Dr. John
Blackmore of the Department of /igricultural and Food Economics. Two graduate
fellowships and clerical assistance were made available for the processing
and analyzing of Massachusetts population data contained in the I960 United
States Census. The research reports of the Institute were to serve as back-
ground material for the planning and implementing of statewide programs in
agricultural, home economics and 4-H extension work. During the year 1961-
62, the Population Institute received funds in the amount, of $8,000 under
this arrangement. During this trial year a basic source file for Massachu-
setts* population was completed. This file consists of three sets of McBee
Keysort cards for each administrative unit (cities and towns), county, and
standard metropolitan area for the State: age-sex structure, occupational-
industrial structure, and family-educational structure.
The first analysis undertaken from these data is contained in a working paper,
Massachusetts Population Growth and Redistributions 1950-1960 > now in the
process of publication „ An age-sex structure and growth analysis of the
Springfield-Chicopee-Holyoke metropolitan area is contained in a second work-
ing paper, D emographic Correlates of Metropolitan Growth ^ also in the process
of publication.
For the year 1962-63, a total of $13,000 has been committed by the College of
Agriculture and $1,700 has been committed by the Department of Agricultural
and Food Economics for a continuation of the Population Institute. Institute
personnel now consists of Dr. Wilkinson as director, four holders of graduate
fellowships and a half-time clerk. In addition, informal permission has been
granted for Professor Wilkinson to be placed on a one-half time teaching
appointment to the Department of Sociology-Anthropology so that he may serve
as Institute Director for the year 1962-63

V, plans for Expansion:
I
1
The major portion of the Institute's projects for the coming year will again
be in terms of the specific requirements of the Extension Service and the
Department of Agricultural and Food Economics, but pending formal Trustee
approval of the Population Institute two areas of expansion are contemplated:
(1) The integration of the Institute into the existing Ph.D. program in
the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. In addition to Professor
Wilkinson, Dr. Edwin Driver, Dr. George Mair of Smith College and Dr. Hilda
Hertz Golden (who is currently on a part-time appointment to the Department
of Sociology and Anthropology) are specialists in the area of population
analysis. Within the framework of Four College cooperation it is anticipated
that a sequence of graduate courses can be evolved constituting a specialty
in demographic analysis. Until this time it has not been possible to offer
demography as an area of specialty at the Ph.D. level. With the establish-
ment of the Population Institute, training and research facilities of a Fh.D.
quality will be available. Graduate students interested in the field of
population analysis will have the opportunity to integrate their courses with
the practical research experience the Institute can provide c It becomes
possible for these students to utilize Institute data for theses and disser-
tations for their higher degrees.
(2) After demonstrating the utility of the Population Research Institute,
and after havin in hand a series of Institute publications; application will
be made for foundation support of the Institute* T .ith foundation support,
the scops of the Institute can be expanded from the state to a national or
international level. The Institute can and will continue to produce studies
of a specialized nature geared to the needs of sponsors, but the overall aim
will be for the collection and analysis of data within the broadest possible
frame,, As the Institute demonstrates its capacity for useful demographic
production, contracts for specialized researcn arranged on a trust fund basis
with public agencies and private industrial or commercial concerns become
feasible,, It is anticipated that through foundation and private contract
income, the Institute can become financially a self-supporting organization*

analysis of the graduate and undergraduate ev, aaent projections
prepared by the Office of Institutional Studies indicates a need for
5000 beds and 2550 dining seats to be provided by September of 1969*
The requests for these facilities can be made most logically in terms
of three project groups, each to be developed as an. integrated dining
and reside;? uiite
The projects outlined in Groups I and II are clearly designated for
the southwest area* The inclusion of the Group III projects would
raise the occupancy of the area to 5000 and may exceed the desirable
capacity for the area* a this event relocation in another area
would be necessary for all or part of this group,.

Governor of the Commonwealth and
President of the Board of Trustees,
Frank L. Boyden, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, John W. Lederle,

Haigis, Fox, Pumphret, Frechette,
Brown, Brett, Croce, Healey, Furcolo,
Thompson, Solomon, S chuck, Troy,
Crowley, Plimpton. Secretary Ryan,
Treasurer Johnson, Provost Woods ide.
Also present, Morris Goldings,
Assistant Secretary-Treasurer of the
University of Massachusetts Building
Authority and Austin Broadhurst, Bond
Counsel for the Massachusetts Build-
ing Authority.
The provisions of Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1958 having
been complied with, and a quorum of the Board of Trustees being
present and acting throughout, Chairman Boyden called the meeting
to order. The Chairman introduced His Excellency Endicott Peabody,
Governor of the Commonwealth and President of the Board of Trustees.
Governor Peabody spoke briefly, expressing his pleasure at attend-
ing the meeting and being a member of the Board. He complimented
the Board on the progress which had been made at the University and
expressed the hope that such progress would continue. If the Uni-
versity succeeds in moving ahead in quality and excellence, it will
have a salutary influence on all of public higher education in the
Commonwealth.
Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED ; To approve the minutes of the meeting of
January 16, 1963 as distributed by the
Secretary to the members of the Board.
Trustee Pumphret, Chairman of the University of Massachu-
setts Building Authority, reported that Project #2 was experiencing
difficulties of two kinds:
1. There has been significant delay in the comple-
tion of work according to schedule and
2. The architect (Hugh Stubbins & Associates) has
found it necessary to question the quality of
some of the work performed.

TRUSTEE
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Trustee Pumphret introduced Mr. Goldings, Assistant
Secretary-Treasurer of the University of Massachusetts Building
Authority, who explained further that there are two basic problems
with respect to the contractor:
1. The usual problems resulting from low bid con-
tractors, namely a large number of requests for
extra orders which the Authority and the archi-
tect consider to be covered in the specifica-
tions and contract itself and
2. The type of construction planned for the build-
ing, while not radically new, is unfamiliar to
the contractor.
Trustee Pumphret introduced Mr. Stubbins who reported on
the current status of Project 2 and the status of planning for
Project 3. In the course of general discussion, Mr. Stubbins
commented on the present difficulties with Project 2. He showed
sketches and charts of the elevation, layout and placing of the
groups 1, 2 and 3 of Project 3. This project consists of 2 high-rise
buildings (22 stories high) and 4 low buildings (3 to 4 stories
high), also a dining commons which makes up the unit. The dormitory
will accommodate 1840 students and it is expected to be completed
by 1965. It is located at the corner of Sunset Avenue and North
Hadley Road (southwest corner) . Mr. Pumphret indicated that further
attention would be given to the matter of elevators for the high-
rise buildings contemplated for group 3.
Trustee Pumphret said that no vote was being asked of the
Board at this time, but that his report was intended to keep the
Board abreast of developments in Projects 2 and 3.
Trustee Pumphret introduced Attorney Austin Broadhurst,
bond counsel for the University of Massachusetts Building Authority,
who reported that the Board may wish to consider certain amendments
to the legislation establishing the Building Authority. In the
course of his remarks, Attorney Broadhurst indicated that it may be
advisable to seek legislative changes which would permit the Build-
ing Authority to link the financing of projects together rather than
continue the present system which requires each project be inde-
pendently financed, with the revenue of each project determined in
accordance with the amortization requisites; consider requesting
legislative authorization for the sale, conveyance or leasing of
buildings (as well as lands, already possible) by the Trustees of
the University of Massachusetts to the Building Authority to the
end that the revenue above operating expenses of the dormitory
facilities at the University might be used in conjunction with the
overall financed plan for building construction at the University.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly made and
seconded, it was
1 ill

VOTED : To refer consideration of legislative changes
with respect to the Building Authority to the
Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees
for further study and subsequent report of
recommendations to the Board.
Trustee Haigis, Chairman of the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds, reported that Sasaki Walker & Associates had reviewed
the preliminary sketches and the general plans of architect Stubbins
& Associates and considered the proposed group #1 of Project 3 to
be excellent for the University. In the course of general
discussion, the Trustees expressed the hope that, in so far as
possible, request for votes and actions by the Board in matters re-
lating to the Building Authority be circulated to the membership of
the Board as far in advance of the meeting as possible.
Attorney Austin Broadhurst explained to the Board that a
formal request to the Building Authority is necessary in order to
proceed with the construction plans. After general discussion and
upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED :

Mr. Healey reported for the Medical Dean Search Committee
saying that a list of some 25 names of persons who might be con-
sidered to be potential "candidates" has been compiled by the
committee. To date preliminary conversations had been held with
some people on the list but no interviews in the sense of candidate
interviews have been arranged and all efforts to date have been ex-
ploratory only. Dr. Solomon reported that the committee had found
that the top people in the medical profession in the country must
be persuaded to be interested in administrative positions such as
Dean of the Medical School. In this the University of Massachusetts
is learning what would be true in recruiting a Dean for any other
Medical School. They may be interested, perhaps, in talking and ex-
ploring with a small group including some of their own colleagues
about the possibility of taking on an assignment, but they are un-
willing to be interviewed as candidates. Applicants who are not
particularly favored by the committee at this stage will have an
opportunity at a future meeting to present their own case.
The Chairman of the committee summarized the challenges
the committee faced in coming to grips with the problem of finding
the most outstanding individual for the position.
The Treasurer reported that pursuant to the request of the
Board of Trustees under authority of Section 32A of Chapter 648,

the University and other lands of the University, and providinc
reasonable penalties for the violation of said rules and regulations
had been prepared and was submitted to the Trustees for their action
In the course of general discussion of the draft of rules and regu-
lations, it was suggested that the rules and regulations be pro-
mulgated as proposed with various parties affected by them invited
to review and bring to the attention of the Trustees any further
suggestions or recommendations. After general discussion and upon

President Lederle informed the Board that negotiations
were contemplated with former Governor Lodge of Connecticut to
serve in the professorship in practical politics in the spring
semester of 1964. There was no objection.
The President reported that there was no ground for
optimism regarding financial support for necessary faculty salary
adjustments from the Legislature. The budget recommended by the
Governor does not provide funds to the extent necessary to be con-
fident that all the salary requirements can be met. At the request
of the President, Provost Woodside elaborated on the general faculty
salary situation. He pointed out that (1) even after the salary
adjustments of November 1962, the University salaries compared with
other institutions were as follows:
Full Professor - D rating on the AAUP scale
Associate Professor - C rating on the AAUP scale
Assistant Professor - B rating on the AAUP scale
Instructor - A rating on the AAUP scale;
(2) nationwide recruiting for important vacancies in the University
is seriously hampered by an inability to compete at the salary
levels currently prevailing in several of the disciplines; (3) in-
ability to move ahead withupward salary adjustments for present
faculty will have serious morale consequences - the retention of
top quality faculty is an acute problem and it will not be improved
unless a substantial salary improvement is possible; (4) there is
no doubt but what the University needs the $440,000 originally re-
quested in the budget submitted by the Trustees.
Trustee Healey reported that in the case of the recruit-
ment for the Dean of the Medical School, there is already question
of salary. It may be necessary to request legal authorization to
pay a salary exceeding $25,000.
The President submitted recommendations for award of
Commonwealth Scholarships for the Class of 1967 and requested
approval of the list. After general discussion and upon motion
being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To approve the list of Commonwealth Scholar-
ship recommendations as set forth in
Document 63-083 which is hereby attached to
and made part of these minutes.
The President reported that the University Committee on
Financial Aid and Scholarships had approved award of scholarship
aid to Miss Marcia Voikos, Class of 1963, but whose name had in-
advertently been left off the list of scholarship aid recipients
approved at an earlier meeting of the Board. Upon motion being
duly made and seconded, it was

Pursuant to the desire of the Board of Trustees as ex-
pressed at the meeting of March 11, 1963, Treasurer Johnson reported
on the extent of comment with respect to the Traffic Policy plan
approved at the March meeting to become effective April 15, 1963.
It was reported to the Board that no adverse comments had been re-
ceived.
At the request of the President, Secretary Ryan reported
on Charter Day Convocation, luncheon and Symposium plans. The
President stated that he would need additional trust funds to meet
some of the expenses.
Treasurer Johnson reported to the Board that it was
necessary for them to repeat the authorization to proceed with
acquisition of the lands of Howe and Kentfield. Upon motion being
duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED ; To reaffirm the votes to take by eminent
domain in fee the Howe and Kentfield
property as described in the vote taken
by the Board of Trustees on March 11, 1963.
Treasurer Johnson reported to the Board that overall
master plans for development of traffic circulation in the town of
Amherst and around the University of Massachusetts would require
additional land acquisition in the near future. These plans con-
template the University working in collaboration with the town of
Amherst in development of the traffic circulation system. After
general discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded,
it was unanimously
VOTED : To authorize a request of $300,000 as
part of the capital outlay program for
land acquisition in connection with
traffic circulation plan.
Treasurer Johnson reported the advisability of acquiring
expert service in the designing of campus roads, sidewalks and
parking areas. In the general discussion, it was pointed out that
the sidewalks constructed in the area of Bartlett Hall followed the
general landscape plan given to the University by Sasaki, Walker &
Associates although funds available did not permit completing the
entire plan. Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously
I
u«=»d RasKeuu<
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
VOTED : To appoint Gordon Ainsworth & Associates
to design campus roads, sidewalks and
parking areas at the rates prescribed
(7% of construction cost) within presently
budgeted funds of $80,000.
It was reported to the Board that certain architectural
changes recommended in the plans and designs for the Food
Technology Building were not approved by the former Commission on
Administration & Finance. The plans are otherwise completed and
ready to go to bid. Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it
was
VOTED : To approve the plans for the Food Technology
Building. Trustee Schuck wished to be re-
corded as voting "no" to the motion.
It was reported to the Board that agreements have been
reached tentatively with various parties relating to the installa-
tion of an educational television translator at the Mt. Lincoln
facility which would make Channel 2 television programs available
to western Massachusetts. The approval of the Board was requested
for the installation of this translator. After general discussion,
members of the Board reached a general consensus that the important
questions involved required further attention and preferred that
decision be deferred until the next meeting of the Board. It was
also the desire of the Board that a memorandum be made available
to each member of the Board setting forth the facts involved in the
proposal.
Trustee Healey reported that as a result of meetings with
the Attorney General a favorable opinion will be issued by the
Attorney General with respect to the interpretation of Chapter 648
in so far as it requires the University to set professional salaries
within the general salary schedule. It was also reported to the
Board that the Attorney General had expressed sympathy with the idea
that the University obtain counsel on a continuing basis. Upon
motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To authorize the President of the University
to request approval from the Attorney General
for the appointment of legal counsel for the
University, reviewing with the Executive
Committee the firm to be retained in this
capacity.
The Board authorized Secretary Ryan to set meeting dates
for the months of July and August and communicate those dates to
the members of the Board by May 16, 1963.

order. Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED : To approve the minutes of the meeting of
April 15, 1963.
At the request of the Chairman, Trustee Healey reported on
behalf of the Executive Committee of the Board. Pursuant to the in-
structions of the Board, the committee considered necessary amenda-
tory action in legislation regarding the University of Massachusetts
Building Authority. Basic modification was proposed by the
Authority in the statute governing the Building Authority dealing
with (1) grouping of projects, (2) authorizing the University of
Massachusetts Building Authority to acquire buildings as well as to
construct them, and (3) permitting, subject to the approval of the
Board of Trustees, the University of Massachusetts Building
Authority to take over the management of some of the trust fund
activities. Alternative methods of finance of various projects re-
quested and contemplated at the request of the Building Authority
were discussed as well as management of dining halls and student
union expansion projects. The Executive Committee, exercising the
authority voted them by the Board of Trustees, approved the amend-
ments to Chapter 773 of the Acts of 1960 as prepared by bond counsel
to the University of Massachusetts Building Authority (Mr. Austin
Broadhurst) , and the committee further approved a request made to
the Legislature to increase the borrowing limits of the University
of Massachusetts Building Authority by 15 million dollars, bringing

dent of the University to write a letter to the Attorney General

Several other matters were reported to be under considera-
tion by the committee including a program for Advanced Study in
Communications and Public Affairs, graduate programs for the Ph.D.
and Ed.D. in Education, and sabbatical leave policy. The committee
will present recommendations in these areas at a future meeting of
the Board. '
At the request of the Chairman, Treasurer Johnson ex-
plained the request made by the Massachusetts Executive Committee
for Educational Television which is the sponsor of the "21- inch
classroom" to install an educational television translator on Mt.
Lincoln. The translator will not be able to originate programs- it
will go on when channel 2 (WGBH-TV) goes on the air and go off when
it ceases to function each day; it will "translate" channel 2 to
whatever frequency the FCC assigns this area. Currently, channels
82 and 84, both UHF, are reserved for this part of Massachusetts.
Treasurer Johnson pointed out that there will be no expense to the
University of Massachusetts for installing, operating or maintain-
ing the translator on Mt. Lincoln. Furthermore, the contractual
agreement permitting the installation provides for termination upon
30 days notice of either party. After general discussion and upon
motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED: To authorize the President of the Uni-
versity to enter into an agreement to
install an educational television trans-
lator on Mt. Lincoln.
Treasurer Johnson reported to the Board the status of the
negotiations with the Nina Haven Foundation regarding the gift to
the University of the Peabody istate on Nantucket Island. The
property consists of some 70 upland acres and 25 acres of marsh
land on Nantucket Island including the main residence, a beach house
and two garages each able to accommodate three cars, with one of the
garages having an apartment above it. As previously reported to the
Board, the Nina Haven Foundation is interested in making available
to the University 7/8 interest in the property. The remaining 1/8
interest in the property is in the possession of the American
Humane Education Society of Boston. Mr. Johnson reported that the
Nina Haven Foundation was prepared to make the property available to
the University, subject to their intention to remove certain antique
pieces of furniture and other furnishings from houses. A restrictior
on the gift would be a reversion clause in the transaction which
Ttfould provide that the University would be required for 35 years to
use the property for purposes for which the University exists.
Treasurer Johnson reported that the American Humane Education
Society of Boston is willing to convey its 1/8 interest in the
property to the University upon payment of $5,000. The property it-
self has been appraised at $101,500, indicating that a reasonable
assessment of the value of the 1/8 interest might be $12,500.
[USTEE
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
In the course of general discussion, Provost Woodside
showed 35 ram. slides of the property and answered questions about
potential uses of it. It was described as an excellent location
for biological research because it is in a unique location where
both northern and southern flora and fauna overlap. The property
would serve well as a site for ecological studies. Ifae Recreation
Department of the University is interested in having access to the
property for its program purposes. Furthermore, the property would
provide a site away from the campus for faculty seminars and
symposia. It was further reported that the caretaker who currently
resides on the premises, could be taken on to the University pay-
roll at an equivalent salary. After general discussion and upon
motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To accept the gift from the Nina Haven
Charitable Foundation, 575 Madison Avenue,
New York, New York, of the estate of the
late Stephen Peabody comprising approxi-
mately ninety (90) acres of land and build-
ings thereon, including furnishings and
equipment, located at Quaise Point,
Nantucket, Massachusetts, and to establish
the Stephen Peabody Fund as an endowment
on the books of the University in an amount
of $101,500 in accordance with an appraisal
on file in the Treasurer's Office dated
April 2, 1963.
It was
VOTED : To authorize the Treasurer, Kenneth W. Johnson,
to take all necessary action for and in the
name of the Trustees, including the signing
of agreements, to effectuate the receiving of
the Nantucket property from the Nina Haven
Charitable Foundation.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly made
and seconded, it was unanimously

VOTED : To approve the personnel actions as set
forth in Document 63-090 which is hereby
attached to and made part of these minutes.
Every personnel action shall be subject to
the policies and procedures now in effect
as subsequently amended, revised, added to
or repealed by the Board of Trustees with
respect to professional personnel under
provisions of Chapter 75 of the General
Laws as amended by Chapter 648, 1962. The
classification, salary range and descriptive
job specification for each position to which
a member of the professional staff is hereby
appointed, promoted, transferred or d
termined shall be as hereafter determined
by the Board of Trustees or under their
authority.
There was general discussion of the need for a meeting in
July and in August. The President pointed out the upcoming problem
of considering the operating budget for the 1963-64 year as well as
the necessity to make salary adjustment decisions. If prior year
patterns hold, salary adjustments may not be possible until as late
as October, which may require approval of retroactive action with
respect to salary to September 1 for academic year people and to
July 1 for calendar year personnel. After general discussion, the
consensus was that the July meeting should be a dinner meeting on
July 2, 1963 and the August meeting be held August 1, 1963. The
July meeting will be held in Boston.
The President of the University and the Chairman of the
Board each issued personal invitations to the members to attend the
Commencement weekend ceremonies on campus in Amherst and expressed
the hope that the Trustees would take advantage of this opportunity
to take part as a body in the traditions and ceremonies of the
University.
Mr. Gordon, the Governor's representative at the Board
meetings, stated to the members of the Board that the Governor had
asked him to express his pleasure at the quality and the excellence
of the program of Charter Day (April 29, 1963). Mr. Gordon also
reported the great pleasure Mrs. Peabody felt as the result of her
tour of the campus on May 10, 1963, including luncheon with Mrs.
Lederle and the tea to which student leaders and faculty wives were
invited.
Mr. Gordon reminded the members of the Board that the
Alumni College Seminar is scheduled for the evening of June 7 and
the morning of June 8, 1963. The theme of the College this year is
"Essentials of Excellence'. He urged the Trustees, in so far as
possible, to try and take advantage of the invitation to attend and
participate in the Alumni College Seminar. On behalf of the
Associate Alumni of the University of Massachusetts, of which
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Mr. Gordon is the President, he issued a personal invitation to the
Trustees to attend the alumni luncheon on June 8, 1963.
Miss Schuck reported to the Board having received a $500
contribution from Dr. Clifford Cherry of California to be awarded
by the University to a member of the faculty in recognition of out-
standing quality of teaching. This is the second year that
Dr. Cherry has contributed $500 for this purpose. Miss Schuck
further informed the Board that Dr. Clifford Cherry indicated in a
letter to her accompanying the check that he will continue to make
$500 awards each year until 1969, at which time he will increase the
award to $750. After general discussion and upon motion being duly
made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To accept the award of $500 from Dr. Clifford
Cherry to be made by the University to a
faculty member for outstanding quality in
teaching, it being further voted to request
the President of the University to acknowledge
receipt of the gift and to express the deep
gratitude of the Board of Trustees of the
University of Massachusetts for the generosity
of Dr. Cherry in the encouragement and
recognition of excellence in teaching.
Trustee Healey, on behalf of the Medical Dean Search
Committee reported that the members of the committee had continued
discussing potential candidates for the Deanship and interviewing
persons who were potential candidates. The committee has been hard
at work and will have a more formal report ready for the Board of
Trustees at a future meeting.
President Lederle informed the Board that he regretted the
fact that he will be unable to be present at the Board meeting of
June 8, 1963. Only the fact of his daughter's university commence-
ment would keep him from attending the meeting of the Board. He
informed the Board that he would return to Amherst in time to
participate in the President's reception and in the Commencement
exercises.
The President of the University expressed serious concern
over the dormitory situation at the University of Massachusetts.
The policy decisions of the Board have been to continue to meet the
obligations of the University with respect to taking increasing
numbers of students each year. Budgeting, staffing and other plans
have been made by the administration assuming the growing enrollment
At the moment, the picture with regard to having dormitory accommo-
dations for the growing enrollment is not bright. The dormitories
planned for behind the President's House, originally intended for
completion in the fall of 1963, are admittedly not going to be ready
for occupancy before fall of 1964. The plans have been adjusted
accordingly. Now, as every day goes by and no evidence
materializes to indicate progress on the dormitories, completion by

fall of 1964 becomes less certain. This is what is worrisome. In
the course of general discussion a number of points were made.
1. It was reported that the contractor, Walsh,
has officially asked the University of
Massachusetts Building Authority for an ex-
tension to December 1963.
2. The question is how to get the contractor
really busy on the project so that progress
is made. It was suggested that it would be
possible to put on the University payroll a
person mutually respected by both the Board
and administration on the one hand and the
Building Authority on the other who would
maintain a daily contact with the project.
3. Mr. Gordon reported to the Board that
Mr. Morris Goldings, an attorney, had been
appointed permanent assistant-secretary
treasurer of the University of Massachusetts
Building Authority as of last January. The
Authority felt this would improve matters
considerably.
4. It was important to take every step possible
to enable the project to progress.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly made
and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To refer to the Executive Committee of the
Board consideration of the problems in-
volved in the construction of domitories
in the project behind the President's House
and to bring back to the Board a report with
recommendations for further action.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at

May 16, 1963 as amended.
Reporting for the committee, the Chairman discussed a pro-
posal for the establishment of a program for Advanced Study in
Journalistic Writing and Public Affairs. In addition to having the
recommendation and approval of the University department and college
involved, proposal was also supported by Mr. Louis Lyons, Curator of
the Nieman Journalism Foundation. After general discussion and upon
motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To approve a program for Advanced Study in
Journalism entitled "Journalistic Writing
and Public Affairs" as set forth in
Document 63-100.
The Faculty and Program of Study Committee has explored
the question of whether time was propitious at the University for
inauguration of a graduate program at the doctoral level in Educa-
tion. The committee feels that the University of Massachusetts must
be considered the center for research in Education among the public
institutions in the Commonwealth. There is a need for graduate
work at the doctoral level in Education. The committee unanimously
recommends to the Board approval of a graduate program leading to
the Ed.D. degree in Education. In the course of general discussion,
members of the Board considered the difference between a Ph.D. and
Ed.D. degree. In the opinion of the committee, the School of Educa-
tion is qualified now to take the first step in the direction of
graduate study at the doctoral level in Education. Approval of the
Ed.D. degree at this time does not preclude establishment of a Ph.D.
program in Education at a future date. After general discussion and
upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously

i VOTED : "WHEREAS the University of Massachusetts
Building Authority (the Authority),
created by Chapter 773 of the Acts of
1960, (said Chapter 773 as amended by
Chapter 763 of the Acts of 1962 being
hereafter called the "Enabling Act") is
authority by the Enabling Act, among other
things, to lease from The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (the Commonwealth) such lands
of the Commonwealth, or rights therein, as
may be necessary for carrying out the pro-
visions of the Enabling Act; and
"WHEREAS the Trustees (the Trustees) of the
University of Massachusetts (the University)
are authorized, acting in the name and on
behalf of the Commonwealth, among other things,
to lease to the Authority land owned by the
Commonwealth in the towns of Amherst or Hadley
or grant easements, licenses or any other

"BE IT RESOLVED That, pursuant to the Enabling
Act, the lease by The Commonwealth to the

Commonwealth in the town of Amherst and the
granting to the Authority of easements,

such land, all as more particularly described

authorized, in the name and on behalf of
the Commonwealth, to sign, acknowledge and
deliver said lease in or substantially in

cause the common seal of the University
and of the Trustees to be affixed thereto."
Trustee Pumphret presented to the members of the Board a
thorough and step-by- step review of the decisions and actions of
the Building Authority with respect to Project #2 and the diffi-
culties that have been experienced in dealing with the contractor
on that project. Following this review, the present status of the
project and the present relationships between the contractor and
the architect were discussed. Project #2 was originally planned
for completion by September 1963. Chronic delays in work com-
pletion by the contractor have made it obvious that the contractor
would not meet the September 1963 completion date. The architect
has rejected some of the work performed by the contractor as not
meeting the specifications or quality standards. Enrollment in-
creases at the University are directly affected by availability of
dormitory space. It was brought out in general discussion of the
problem that emergency alternative arrangements have been made to
accommodate the additional students who will be admitted in
September 1963 and who were to have been housed in Project #2.
Enrollment expansion as planned by the University for 1964 cannot b^
carried out without additional dormitory facilities. The Board
was informed of the recommendations of the architect with respect
to expediting work on the project and bringing the performance of
the contractor into line with specifications. At the conclusion
of the report, President Lederle and Chairman Boyden complimented
Trustee Pumphret on the thoroughness of his report.
Judge Blassberg reported to the members of the Board that
Mr. Grandonico had made an offer of settlement on the Grandonico
property which has been taken by the University under eminent
domain proceedings. The offer is on file. It is higher than the
two independent appraisals that the Trustees have. Judge Blassberg
indicated that certain factors such as value of franchise attaching
to the property were not in his opinion considered in the
appraisals made of the property. It was reported to the Board
that the members of the Buildings & Grounds Committee had discussed
the settlement offer and had not considered it in view of the
general practice of the Board relating to settlements based on
appraisals. The consensus of the members of the Board after
general discussion of the matter was to request the Treasurer of
the University to review the appraisals on the Grandonico property
with the appraisers and to obtain a third impartial appraisal on
the property; and refer the matter subsequently to the Board.
In the absence of the Chairman of the Buildings &
Grounds Committee, Trustee Schuck agreed to review the matters
considered by the Committee at its last meeting. It was reported
that Minoru Yamasaki, the architect selected for the Fine Arts
Building, had visited the campus on June 27, 1963. Progress has

been made in determining a mutually satisfactory architectural fee
based on the AIA scale and other matters. In his visit, Yamasaki
discussed with members of the Administration the nature of the
project and the terms of the agreement. The program requirements
for the building as established by the Faculty who will use it will
cost in excess of the original antcipated figure ($2,500,000). It
is advisable, therefore, to consider combining the Fine Arts Build-
ing project with a second project already on the capital plan of
the University for construction of a Music Building and Auditorium.
Many of the facilities of both structures are similar. Substantial
savings in construction could be realized by combining the two
projects into one, thus avoiding duplication of space for lobbies,
storage, stages, etc. This was discussed with Mr. Yamasaki and he
was delighted at the broader dimension of the project. After
general discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded,
it was unanimsouly
VOTED : To combine the Fine Arts and Music Building
and Auditorium projects into a single project
to be designed by Minoru Yamasaki.
It was reported to the Board that the project dealing
with the fourth section of Morrill Science Center required appoint-
ment of a supervising architect. There have been many problems
connected with the architect himself. After general discussion,
and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To recommend to Commissioner Waldron that
Buerkel & Company, Inc. be selected supervis-
ing engineer for the Morrill Science Center -
fourth section project.
The Board was informed that it was necessary and
desirable to take a piece of property belong to Katherine L. Woynar.
Appraisals have been obtained on the property. After general
discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously
VOTED : To authorize taking of property of Katherine
L. Woynar by the University through eminent
domain proceedings.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly
made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To authorize the Treasurer of the University
to remove by competitive sale or otherwise
buildings located on North Pleasant Street
on land now owned by the University between
the University Apartments and Hills Dormitory
or to raze them, whichever is deemed in the
best interest of the Commonwealth.

It was reported to the Board that the members of the
Buidlings & Grounds Committee had inspected the Cold Storage Build-
ing and discussed a number of matters concerning the building with
Mr.- Hugill who is Director of the physical plant at the University.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly made and
seconded, it was
VOTED : To accept the Cold Storage Building,
Project U-58-6 as completed.
Trustee Healey reported that the Medical Dean Search Com-
mittee had met with a group from Tufts University and received
assurances from them that they would like to be helpful in any
possible way to the University in selecting a Dean and organizing
a faculty for the Medical School. To date, approximately thirteen
possible candidates have been seen by the committee and four or
five more will probably be reviewed by the committee. A major
problem faced by the committee is uncertainty about the salary
which can be paid for a Dean sicne the General Salary Schedule
goes only to $19,422. It was suggested that it had now reached
a point where the Governor should be requested to ask the Legis-
later to approve a salary sufficient to obtain a first-class Dean.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly made and
seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To request the Governor to ask the Legislature
to establish a realistic salary for the Medical
Dean, but not to exceed $30,000.
The President presented personnel actions and asked their
approval. After general discussion and upon motion being duly made
and seconded, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved personnel
actions as set forth in Document 64-001 which is hereby attached to
and made part of these minutes. It was further
VOTED : That every personnel action shall be subject
to the policies and procedures now in effect
and as subsequently amended, revised, added
to or repealed by the Board of Trustees with
respect to p rof essional personnel under the
provisions of Chapter 75 of the General Laws as
amended by Chapter 648, 1962. The classifica-
tions, salary range and descriptive job speci-
fications for each position to which a member
of the professional staff is hereby appointed,
promoted, transferred, or determined shall be
as hereafter determined by the Board of
Trustees or under their authority.
The President reminded the Board of its vote at the
meeting of November 9, 1962 approving a sabbatical leave for Pro-
fessor Edwin A. Gere, Jr. , Assistant Director of the Bureau of
Government Research, ot obtain the Ph.D. That vote specified three

Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To approve Mr. Gere's Ph.D. study at the
State University of New York - Albany.
The President reported that there was as yet no candidate
to be recommended to the Board as Dean of the School of Engineering.
A large number of potential candidates have been screened and much
progress has been made toward obtaining a Dean. It will be
necessary, however, to appoint an Acting Dean of the School for the
coming school year. The President said he would have a recommenda-
tion for appointment as Acting Dean at the next meeting of the
Board.
The President informed the Board that with the availabili-
ty of Boyden Hall it is now possible to permit a broader physical
education program for Stockbridge School students. In connection
with this, it is necessary to establish a fee for physical education
equipment. After general discussion, and upon motion being duly
made and seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To establish a required physical education
equipment fee of $5.00 to be charged all
male Stockbridge School freshmen at the
beginning of their freshman year effective
September 1, 1903.
The Board of Trustees considered the operating budget of
the University and inquired about the need and possibilities for
salary improvement at the University. It was suggested that the
brief explanatory statement covering items in the budget would be
extremely helpful to the members of the Board and it was agreed to
supply such a statement prior to the next meeting of the Board.
After general discussion and upon motion being duly made and
seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED : To adopt the University operating budget for
the fiscal year, July 1, 1963 to June 30,

The members of the Board noted there is a meeting of the
Association of Governing Boards scheduled to be held in
Pennsylvania in October. It was suggested that someone from the
Board be authorized to represent the University at that meeting.
One suggestion was that the Chairman of the Faculty & Program of
Study Committee attend.
The President reported on the capital outlay message of
the Governor to the Legislature which contained all of the projects
for the year requested by the University. The President said that
this is major support for future students. Treasurer Johnson
elaborated on the report by indicating several University projects
included in the request.
The President read to the Board a letter from Dr.
Solomon suggesting the advisability and possibility of arranging
a two to three-day meeting of the members of the Board to permit
a more complete inquiry and exchange of ideas regarding higher
education in general and future plans for the University of Massa-
chusetts. Dr. Solomon asked that thought be given to arranging
for bringing members of the Board into contact more often with
Deans and members of the faculty of the University.
Judge Fox requested more information about the status and
progress of a number of matters at the University. It was agreed
to provide a report on the University Library and the Phi Beta

The provisions of Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1958 having
been complied with, and a quorum of the Board of Trustees being
present and acting throughout, the Chairman of the Board called the
meeting to order. Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED : To approve the minutes of the meeting of
July 2, 1963.
Mrs. Peabody, wife of His Excellency Endicott Peabody,
Governor of the Commonwealth, was introduced to the Board of Trustees
The Chairman of the Board expressed the pleasure of all its members
in welcoming Mrs. Peabody, and their gratitude at this expression
of her own great interest in higher education in the Commonwealth.
The Chairman commented on Mrs. Peabody' s visit to the campus of the
University in May and expressed the appreciation of the University
and the Board for her gift of an antique silver Revere bowl to the
Massachusetts Historical Room of the Goodell Library.
Trustee Pumphret, Chairman of the University of Massachu-
setts Building Authority, reported that a board of arbitration had
convened on the campus of the University of Massachusetts to inspect
construction on the site of Project 2. This was brought about by the
contractor who challenged the order of the architect to remove cer-
tain work. No decision had yet been communicated from the arbitra-
tion board to Trustee Pumphret, but he expected to be able to make
the report on this at the next meeting. In addition, the Authority
has engaged engineering testing experts to consider the contractor's
challenge of the safety of floor planks as specified by the archi-
tect. The tests are not yet complete, but those which have been
taken indicate that the floor planks meet safety tests beyond the
required amount. Trustee Pumphret reported that the Authority is on
top of this job doing everything possible to get the dormitories
built.
It was reported that bids for construction of the Dining
Commons have been invited. The bids will be opened and a contract
awarded prior to the next meeting of the Board when a full report
will be made.

Amendatory legislation has been introduced and is progress
ing well through the Legislature. On the strength of the favorable
reception of progress of this legislation, the Building Authority
has instructed its counsel to draw up contracts for the design of
the first section of the high-rise dormitories in the southwest
quadrangle and for the construction of the football facility. It
is hoped that the dormitory project in the southwest quadrangle can
go to bid in January 1964.
Trustee Healey, Chairman of the Medical Dean Search
Committee, reported that progress is being made. As of the moment,
the committee has interviewed approximately 20 persons for the
position as Dean of the Medical School. Today they will interview
two more persons. Very soon, the committee will have five persons
to recommend to the Board for their careful consideration. Further-
more, if desired by any members of the Board, the committee will
arrange a "briefing" session in which there will be a thorough re-
view of all of the persons considered by the committee as well as
those interviewed by the committee.
Subsequent to the last meeting, the question of action re-
garding establishing a suitable salary for the position was pursued.
It is hoped that this question will be resolved through submission
by the Commissioner of Administration of a special bill calling for
a salary to be fixed by the Trustees not to exceed $30,000 for the
Dean of the Medical School.
In response to questions, it was pointed out that the
committee has considered only the question of a person to be
recommended for the Deanship. The committee has sifted through
approximately 125 names of persons in the course of its work,
narrowing the list by directly contacting some 65 persons of whom
40 were not interested in any further discussion or interview.
New names are still being recommended. Tufts and Boston University
personnel have been very helpful to the committee making available
to them data which they acquired in their own searches for Medical
Deans .
Trustee Healey, Chairman of the Committee, presented the
report of the Finance Committee. On recommendation of the
committee and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
unanimous ly
VOTED : That the cash variance overage in the
amount of $5.38 as of June 30, 1963 in
the Treasurer's Office be written off
as a credit to the Trust Fund Interest
Account.

been complied with, and a quorum of the Board of Trustees being
present and acting throughout, the meeting was called to order by
the President in the absence of the Chairman of the Board. Upon

It was reported that the Committee on Finance had re-
viewed the general policy of the Board of Trustees with respect to
the use of sums of money accruing to the University as overhead from
research and other grants and contracts. It was reported that the
Committee on Finance recommended to the Board of Trustees that in
addition to the standing vote of the Trustees to use overhead earned
on research and other grants and contracts for the furtherance of
the research of the University, additional authorization should be
given to use up to one-third of such overhead each year for
maintenance, repairs, alterations and other project costs in support
of the work of the academic departments. In the course of general
discussion and in response to questions from various Trustees, it was
pointed out that research and other grants and contracts procedures
are regularly audited both by Federal and State auditors. Trustee
Pumphret suggested that it would be preferable from an accounting
point of view to relate the allocation of research and other grant
and contract funds for maintenance purposes to a formula based on

tect, the arbitration found that these columns were not in sub-
stantial compliance with said specifications and instructiona. Also
regarding the other obligation of the contractor that certain planks
did not meet safety standards, the test engineers found that those
planks in the construction not only met safety standards but far ex-
ceeded necessary safety standards. It was reported by Trustee
Pumphret that counsel for the Building Authority is presently pre-
paring an opinion concerning the rights of both parties regarding
the possible removal from the project of the present contractor, and
on the most effective way to assure completion of the project for
occupancy not later than Fall 1964. The point was raised in general

matters. A motion (by Trustee Thompson) was made and seconded that
the Board of Trustees of the University of Massachusetts express its

vite the President or his designee to attend each meeting of the

dispensable dormitory facilities are provided for anticipated en-
rollment increases next fall and thereafter. Budget requests and
other plans at the University are based on an expanding enrollment,
but these will have to be reviewed and revised unless dormitory
facilities are available. The President renewed his pledge to do
everything in his power to assist the Building Authority in its
work.

that the pace of growth and development in the graduate program in
the future would necessarily depend upon adequate budgetary support.
He discussed with the Board the traditional 15 to 1 teacher- student
ratio which has been used for years as the basis for budgetary
calculations. This is an unsatisfactory ratio in itself for

graduate work some of which must employ a 1 to 1 ratio. It will be
necessary, in the near future, to develop a variable formula for

garding the establishment of the salary for the Dean of the Medical

MINUTES OF MEETING OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES
October 19, 1963, 10:30 a.m., Holdsworth Hall, University Campus
PRESENT : President Lederle, Trustees Boyden,
Brett, Brown, Haigis, Healey,
McNamara, Pumphret, Schuck, Plimpton,
Emerson, Croce, Troy, Provost
Woods ide, Treasurer Johnson, Acting
Secretary Redfern and Mr. Grady,
University Business Manager
The provisions of Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1958 having
been complied with, and a quorum of the Board of Trustees being
present and acting throughout, Chairman Boyden called the meeting
to order. Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED : To approve the minutes of the meeting
of September 10, 1963.
The President explained that identification stickers
would be attached to Trustee vehicles in order to facilitate campus
security personnel assisting Trustees with directions and parking.
The President noted, that as a result of discussions the
University has had with representatives of the Federal Government,
it might be advisable for the Board to reaffirm its long-standing
policy on fair and equal employment opportunities. The Federal
Government, under an executive order, now has the responsibility of
determining whether or not any institution or industry receiving
Federal grants is in compliance with the executive order concerning
equal employment opportunities. Therefore, in addition to its long-
standing practices and in addition to statutory provisions in
Massachusetts legislation insuring fair employment opportunities,
the President recommended that the Board at this time reaffirm its
equal employment opportunity policy. It was moved, seconded and
Resolved:
That the Board of Trustees reaffirm
its long-standing support of the
policy of equal employment opportu-
nities at the University of Massa-
chusetts according to the statutes
of the Commonwealth, and as re-
affirmed for the University of Massa-
chusetts in Chapter 648 of the Acts
of 1962.
The President explained the various types of suggested
guidelines that might be appropriate in the event salary adjustments
are authorized in the future. Such guidelines, approved by the
I
fRUSTEE
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Deans and the administration, would be submitted, along with the
recommendations for personnel actions, to the Committee on Faculty
and Program: of Study at a meeting in the near future. The President
further explained the current procedures, authorized by the
Trustees, which are followed by the University in evaluating and
recommending personnel actions. It was emphasized that the pro-
cedures involved the department heads, departmental personnel
committees in those departments of size to warrant such, and the
deans and college or school personnel or executive committees,
prior to final evaluation and recommendation by the chief academic
officers of the University to the Board of Trustees.
The Chairman of the Finance Committee stated that the
Finance Committee had reviewed the classification, use, and ex-
penditures of University Trust Funds. Upon recommendation of the
committee and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously
VOTED : That $1,000 be allotted from the Unrestricted
Endowment Income funds to the President for
special needs.
The Finance Committee had discussed the recently enacted
state legislation authorizing members of educational institutions
to participate at their option in tax sheltered annuity programs.
This would be at no cost to the University, and would take place
through a contract between participating members and the insurance
company. The University would provide a service in arranging for
payroll deduction procedures as a courtesy to staff members who
elect to engage in the program. One condition yet to be resolved
is whether or not the conditions of participation should include a
blanket contract for staff, on a bid basis, or allow individual
selection of insurance contractors. It was pointed out that change;
in existing contracts would likely be limited to one annual date
regardless of which form the contract(s) took. After general
discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously
VOTED : To approve the principle of University
staff participation in authorized tax
sheltered annuity programs and to direct
the administration to refer details on
procedure to the Finance Committee for
final approval.
The Finance Chairman informed the Board that the Finance
Committee had authorized funds received from treasury bills coming
due in October 1963 being placed into variable interest accounts
for the time being. He further informed the Board that the report
of the Treasurer on "Classification, Sources and Uses of Funds for
Fiscal Year 1962-63" is being prepared in summary form and mil be
distributed to Board members.

Committee on Finance and upon motion being duly made and seconded,
it was unanimously
VOTED : To approve the proposed budget for re-
search trust fund for fiscal year 1964
as set forth in Document 64-019.
Upon recommendation of the committee, it was duly moved,
seconded and unanimously

Treasurer of the University of Massa-
chusetts, as directed by the Treasurer,
or in his absence, to sign or endorse

of deposit and withdrawal orders in an amount
of $10,000 or more shall require the addi-
tional signature of either the Treasurer or
the Controller except fund transfers between
accounts in the First National Bank of
Amherst.
In the course of general discussion, it was brought out
that there is a need in the future of the University to review
patent policy for the purpose of bringing said policy up to date in
making it more equitable in terms of University activity in the re-
search field.
The Chairman of the Board announced that in accordance
with prior discussion by the Board he was hereby appointing the
following members to the Ad Hoc Trustee Development Committee:
President Lederle, Trustees Emerson, Haigis, Troy and Crowley.
It was reported that the Medical Dean Search Committee is
now ready to recommend names to the Board for interviews at special
Board meetings. The Acting Secretary was instructed to arrange for
said special meetings, giving as much consideration as possible to
the selection of dates which would be suitable for those members of
the Board who have medical backgrounds or who served on the Medical
Dean Search Committee. The Board then went into executive session.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
Upon leaving executive session, the Board took up item
5 on the agenda - Report on Land Acquisition. The President in-
formed the Board that there was no business to report on land
acquisitions at this time.
President Lederle presented the personnel actions. After
general discussion and upon motion being duly made and seconded,
it was
VOTED : To approve the personnel actions as set
forth in Document 64-016 which is hereby-
attached to and made part of these minutes.
It was further
V OTED : That every personnel action shall be subject
to the policies and procedures no?; in effect
and as subsequently amended, revised, added
to or repealed by the Board of Trustees with
respect to professional personnel under pro-
visions of Chapter 75 of the General Laws as
amended by Chapter 648, 1962. The classifica-
tion, salary range and descriptive job
specifications for each position to which a
member of the professional staff is hereby
appointed, promoted, transferred, or de-
termined shall be as hereafter determined
by the Board of Trustees or under their
authority.
The Chairman of the Board acknowledged the fine work which
had been done by the Chairman of the Building Authority in connection
with his participation in meetings with students and faculty in re-
gard to the building plans and problems of the Authority. The
Chairman of the Building Authority explained the status of the
dormitory project involving Mr. V/alsh as contractor. This project
is now one year behind schedule. He informed the Board that the
Building Authority had given the contractor notice of intent to
terminate the contract, and that this action had left three
alternatives: (l) the bonding company completing the job; (2)
re-bidding the contract and awarding to a new contractor; and (3)
appointment of a new supervisor by V/alsh, satisfactory to the
Authority and Architect, who would have authority to get the job
done within the required limitations. It was explained that under
the circumstances, with time pressing, alternative three appeared
to be the most desirable and feasible alternative and this course
of action was taken by the Building Authority. Mr. Robert Canedi,
an experienced supervisor of construction, was appointed with ex-
tended authority and powers in contractual form between the Build-
ing Authority, Mr. Canedi and M. J. V/alsh & Sons. Mr. Canedi 's
authority includes the right to order supplies and equipment and
the number of personnel required, including overtime authorizations

that may be necessary in order to complete the work with all due
dispatch and not later than August 14, 1964. The Chairman of the
Building Authority concluded his report by stating that it now
appears possible for the work on the dormitory complex behind the
President's House to move steadily forward towards completion.
Copies of the student Centennial Yearbook, INDEX, were
distributed to the Trustees at the request of the editors of the
INDEX. The Board directed the Acting Secretary to express its
thanks and appreciation to the editors of the INDEX for these
complimentary copies of a fine Centennial publication.
President Lederle stated that the most likely apparent
date for the next Board meeting would be Friday, November 22.
This change would be required in view of the necessary meeting of
the Faculty and Program of Study Committee scheduled for
November 15.

The President commented on the need for seeking a new
Provost for the position being vacated by Provost Woodside who is
retiring after twenty-seven years of dedicated and loyal service
to the University of Massachusetts. To attract an able person,
it would be necessary, the President said, to think in terms of a
$20,000 to $22,000 salary for a person of the qualifications and
abilities required for this most important University position.
Tn view of the length of the agenda, the President said he would
defer any further comments except to express appreciation for the
thorough and conscientious work which had gone into the committee
reports listed on the agenda and he hoped that the Board would be
guided by the advice and recommendations of these committees.
Report of the Comm ittee on Bui ldings and Gro unds
The Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee
stated that the report on land acquisitions (a copy of which was
distributed to Trustees) was reviewed and discussed by the
committee and he would like to call the attention of the Board to
the recommendation for Pro Tanto payments, the recommendation for
naming the large auditorium at the School of Business the Ralph C.
1 'ahar Auditorium in recognition of the distinguished service and
interest of the late Senator Mahar in the welfare of the University
and to the recommendation for naming the ffiL^ha^ural resources
building the Holdsworth Natural Resources Center. The Chairman
further called attention of the Board to the recommendation of the
committee in regard to the policy of not naming buildings after
living University staff persons nor of naming Schools and Colleges
of the University after names of persons.

The Chairman of the committee called the members'
attention to the committee recommendation of Fero Saarinen &
Associates as first recommendation for designing the Fine Art"
Center. At the re^ue^t of the Chairman the University Treasurer
reported on the visit he had made, on an informal basis, to
arinen & Associates' office in Hamd°n, Connecticut. He noted
that this world famous firm (although the principal ~2*vo "Jaarinen
himself is deceased) is engaged in such notable pro.iectr as the
building at the New York Worlds "^air and that they follow the
model and review process of design, in the developmental stager of
their projects. He stated that the firm was very much interested
in the Fine Arts Center and would be aMe to start on th Q proje
in January if the opportunity were offered them. They would re-
gard the project as a challenging creative assignment. The staff
people informed the Treasurer they felt they could work ouite
readily within the rem. lire ments of the ^onnonwealth ] in regard
to state construction. The meeting the firm was purely ex-
ploratory with the understanding that no commitments were involv°d.
At the request of the committee Chairman, the Treasurer
distributed copies of a report on architects recommended and
appointed, dated November 21, 1963 (Document 64-035)
A question was raised as to the propriety of The Collegia!
coverage G f the Fine Arts Center situation. It was noted that the ,
essentials of the situation apparently were reflected accurately by
The Collegian editors, although of the inferences and certain
words which wereused could be subject to ^riti^ism. Tt was pointed
out that in such situations as this, University officials ~an talk
with the editors on the matter of educating them to the re~oonsi-
bilities of a free press. Th~ r resident agreed to see that this is
done.
Some question was raised as to why were not Trustees in-
formed about the pending crisis in regard to the Yamasaki contract.
It was noted that the University had sent reminders to the
Commissioner of Administration as the deadline approached, and con-
cerning the new extension deadline that had been gran+°<i by
Yamasaki, but there had been no real reason to expect that the con-
tract would not be approved and the failure of communications between
the Commissioner of '^dmini-^-^-'-ion and the Yamasaki offices had
been as unexpected to the administration as to the Trustee s # It
was brought out that although Yamasaki is an excellent architect of
world reputation, there are other outstanding architects that could
do exceptional work on the Fine Arts Center. There was a motion
to attempt once more to contact Yamasaki to do the project but the
motion failed 6-8. It was thereupon moved, seconded and

The Committee Chairman noted that the proposal for an endowed
chair, which the sponsors rested be named the Nicolas Appert
Chair of ^oo r end Technology, would he runpor+ed by a
""'10,000 annual grant for a five-year neriod y - Glas Contains
Manufacturers Institute, with the balance of the salary of the in-
cumbent provided by the Universit; . The incumbent would have a
regular academic title, benefits and privileges. His salary might
be above the usual Uni lary e but would be in keep-
ing with overall University policy and would v e based upon the
qualifications of th^ individual appointed. The purpose of the
Chair would be to further research and graduate training in Food
Science and Technology. The Chairman further pointed out tb
similar types of endowment ar^ used by other state universities in-
cluding the University of M aine. .after -ion, it was
moved, seconded and
VOTED : To approve the nroposal for an Endowed
Chair in Food Science and Te^hnolo-y as
contained in document 64-025, and said
document is attached and hereby made

The Chairman of the Faculty and Program of Study Committee
called the attention of the Board to a "onv of an opinion from the
Univei r Counsel in regard to the powers, authority and duties of
the Board of Trustees under Chanter 75 s^ amended by Chapter 6L.8 of
the Acts of 1962.
The Chairman pointed out that Chapter 775 establishes a new
neral salary schedule for State employees. In addition, it
establishes a new "F' ! Schedule for public institutions of higher
education, said schedule to take effect September 1963 for teachers
and supervisors on the academic -year appointment basis. Certain
members of the University faculty are covered by this provision.
She noted that in addition to the 10;! increase, each member of the
professional staff of the University may receive a salary adjustment

approved by the B o^ Trustees, provided that the total sum
of the additional increases shall no : I ] of the total
salaries received hy professional staff members prior to July 1,

effective dates for increases:

Basically, all professionals v/hose salaries have been
changed by the Board of Trustees acting under autonomy powers and
?/ho are under %l neraj Salary Schedule shall have a 10$
retroactive pay increase effective July 1, 1963 for those on annual
appointments and r ■ mber 1, 1963 for those on 10-month appoint-
ments. Section 7 of Chapter 775 empowers the Trustees to make
additional incrr not to exceed an aggregate 10$ of the pro-
fessional staff payroll. She recalled for the Trustees that last
November, personne" 1 actions had reclassified somewhat more than
300 professional ho were under the "E" ^hedule and placed them
under the General State Salary Schedule. For the remaining, approxjL
mately 300. staff members who were not given personnel actions at
that time, their positions remained under the old general "non-
autonomous" salary schedule or under the old "E" "chedule.
Under the basic 10$ retroactive increase authorised by
ber 775, all University staff members would receive increases
whether or not previously reclassified under autonomy action. She
reminded the Board that the additional 10$ for professional staff
authorized under Section 7 is to be effective February 1, 1964.
^o carry out the provisions of Chapter 775 and to reaffirm the
authority of the Board of Trustees under fiscal autonomy, the
committee was recommending a series of votes for Board approval.
The first vote increases the -Varies of professional
staff members whose Ossification had been fixed by prior action
of the Board of Trustees under autonomy authority and would add
10,^ retroactive to July 1, 1963 to the salaries of said staff
members; this action would be tal:en under Section 9 of Chapter ^7^.

1963 depending upon basis of contractual services. After general

VOTED: That pursuant to Section 6 of Chapter 775 of th
Acts of 1963, those members of the pro ional
staff of the University, whose sal? >e allo-
cated to the so-called "E" Schedule, not having
heretofore been changed or fix<=d by the R oard o^
Trustees acting under and pursuant to Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 75, as amended, are hereby
reallocated to the same job group and step in

Section 6 of Chapter 775, Acts of 1963, said
change of salary and salary range being effective
as of July 1, 1963, for appointments on an annual
basis and as of September 1, 1963, for appoint-
ments on a ten months basis.
The next vote, the Chairman stated, would give the 10$
increase to teachers who are emp3-oyed in the University Demonstra-
tion School and paid out of 03 funds. Although these people are
town employees, the University pays a stipend of State funds of
$1200 for services rendered especially in connection with
Demonstration School projects. After general discussion, it was
moved, seconded and
VOTED : That pursuant to Section 9 of Chapter 775
of the Acts of 1963, an increase of 10%
in the rate of payment to the Demonstration
Teachers in the Mark's Meadow School is
authorized effective September 1, 1963,
payable from subsidiary account -03 funds.
The next vote is concerned largely with the continuing
employees of the University engaged in pullorum disease testing.
These people are paid on an hourly basis and work on an inter-
ttent schedule. This proposal has been recommended by the Dean
of Agriculture and approved by the President and would involve
five or six people only but it is felt desirable for equity
reasons. This vote is necessary to authorize payments from sub-
sidiary account 03 funds. After general discussion, it was moved,
seconded, and
VOTED : That the rate of compensation for services
performed by pullorum disease testers is
increased by 10^ effective November 25, 1963,
payable from subsidiary account -03 funds.
The "hairman noted that the next vote applied + o persons
who are paid out of University Trust Funds. Although at one time
the salaries of some of these positions had been higher than those
of comparable University positions, over time the imbalance had
been wiped out and the salaries were now comparable. With other
employees receiving the \0% under 'Thapter 775, it was felt fo^
equity reasons that permanent Trust Fund employe ich included
professional staff of Boarding Halls, Student Union and Health
Services, etc. would need the 10% for equity purposes. If

professionals, on research budgets, are to be given increases,
such recommendations will be brought to the Board for approval.
After general discussion, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : Each person not otherwise receiving a
salary increased under authority of
Chapter 775 of the Acts of 1963 and
paid from trust funds who is in a position
listed in the Operating Budget for Fiscal
Year 1964 and the Operating Budgets -
Trust Funds for Fiscal Year 1964 as
approved by the Trustees on July 2, 1963
or as subsequently added to by authority
of the Trustees or the President shall
receive a 10$ increase in salary as of
July 1, 1963 for persons on annual appoint-
ment or September 1, 1963 for persons on
academic-year appointment, said increase
to be paid from the appropriate trust fund.
The Chairman informed the Board that Chapter 775 also
indicated that State employees who are in positions classified by
the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Listings as professional
may be subsequently so classified by the State service. If any
University staff people are affected by such reclassification, the
Trustees will be informed.
The Chairman further informed the Board that merit in-
creases would be effective February 1, 196<4 and at such time or
prior thereto, it was expected that all professional staff members
would be uniformly placed in the new General Salary Schedule and
made autonomous employees. In accordance with the anticipated
merit increase actions, the committee is recommending the Presi-
dent's proposal for a new classification of faculty positions.
Subsequently, when the Board takes action on merit increases under
Section 7 of Chapter 775, such a new classification would be
desirable to have on record in order to guide merit increase
recommendations. The proposed classifications of positions has
increased the minimum ranges by 10$ and adjusted the maximum range
"by 30%. It was noted that although the new classification will
raise salaries above what has been the practice in the past, that
a number of other people in the Commonwealth service will be re-
ceiving salaries at least as high or higher under recent salary
actions and that salary classifications of the recommended level
are necessary today in the competitive market place for qualified
academic people. After general discussion, it ?/as duly moved
and seconded and
VOTED : That the classification of Position Titles as
shown in Document 6-4-026 to be effective on
and after November 22, 1963, are approved, and
said document is attached and hereby made part
of these minutes.

The next recommended vote, the Chairman explained, is to
effect approval of salary commitments made hy the President for
the named faculty members appearing in the Faculty and Program of
Study Committee minutes of November 15, 1963, page 5. It was
pointed out that these commitments could not take effect until the
salary bill had been passed and that the actions would be retro-
active to September 2, 1963. The Chairman noted that the 10$ in-
crease authorized under Chapter 775 is to be calculated for these
persons on the basis of their old salaries before the committed
amount of increase would be authorized. After general discussion,
it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : That, pursuant to undertakings heretofore
given to certain members of the professional
staff of the University on the basis of
which said mamebers have been performing
services for the University since September 2,
1963, said undertakings having been given
with the knowledge of the Board of Trustees
but with respect to T/hich recorded action by
the Board of Trustees has been deferred pend-

(Later, at 2:59 p.m. Dr. Boyden arrived and assumed the
chair and shortly thereafter at approximately 3:15 p.m.
Commissioner Kiernan was excused from the meeting because of a
prior commitment)
The provisions of Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1953 having
been complied with, and a quorum of the Board of Trustees being
present and acting throughout, Mr. Healey, who had been elected
chairman pro tern, called the meeting to order. Upon the request of
Mr. Pumphret, the meeting took up item 7 on the agenda.
Mr. Robert Gordon, acting on behalf of the chairman of
the Building Authority sub-committee for the Sports Stadium intro-
duced Mr. Radford and his colleagues. A model design was shown of
the proposed Stadium and the special features were pointed out such
as the spectators line of vision, the press box at the upper west
side of the facility, the 30 rows or tiers of seats on the east
and west sides of the field, the concave walls at the north and
south ends which would contain rest rooms, team rooms, storage and
concession facilities. Mr. Radford pointed out that the facility
would be a pre-cast concrete and beam structure. He noted that if
the slope of the seating tiers were raised to a sharper angle,
there would be some added cost which has yet to be estimated. Dean
McGuirlc spoke briefly and stated that the University sub-committee
on the Stadium is intrigued by the proposed design, and while it
has some reservations on minor points which the designers state can
be remedied, he said that the sub-committee was on the whole very
pleased.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
There was extended discussion on the cost and adequacy
of certain plumbing fixtures which might have to be resolved in
consultation with the Commissioner of Public Safety. In response
to an inquiry as to whether or not a track was contemplated in the
design, Dean McGuirk said that a track was not included because
among other reasons the track coaching staff prefers a unified
facility for field events during outdoor meets. The use of the
Stadium would tend to split up events held during track meets and
make more difficult the scheduling and run-off of such events. He
added that there would be fully adequate facilities for outdoor
track meets and provision for this would not be required in the
Stadium. It was noted as to access, egress and parking, that
Sasaki, Walker & Associates have planned layouts to care for these
needs and that in addition town officials and planning agencies
are cooperating with the University in regard to road layouts and
traffic facilities. Dean McGuirk noted that parking facilities
would have dual use both for Stadium visitors and, during week days ,
for student parking. After general discussion, it was moved,
seconded and
VOTED : To approve the preliminary scheme of the
Sports Stadium as shown in the model de-
sign, subject to modification in line with
points discussed with the designers in-
cluding the slope of the seating tiers.
Mr. Pumphret informed the Board it would be necessary to
have a vote that would enable the Building Authority to move for-
ward with the Stadium project in line with the preliminary approval
just voted. It was moved, seconded and
VOTED : WHEREAS, on February 12, 1963 the Trustees
(the Trustees) of the University of
Massachusetts (the University) adopted
a resolution altering and amending
resolutions adopted by the Trustees
September 21, 1961, February 27, 1962

a written request to be made to Uni-

Authority (the Authority) that it,
among other things, plan, construct,
equip and furnish a structure to
accommodate approximately 20,000
persons as spectators at outdoor
events; and
WHEREAS, it now appears desirable that the
permanent seating capacity of such
structure be approximately 17,000 persons
and that it be so planned and constructed
as to permit the installation of temporary
seating facilities adjacent thereto;

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
NOW, Therefore, Be It Resolved,
That John W. Lederle, President of the
University, be and he hereby is authorized
in the name and on behalf of the Trustees
to modify the written request made of the
Authority by authority of the resolution
of the Trustees adopted February 12, 1963
by providing that the permanent seating
capacity of the structure to accommodate
persons as spectators at outdoor events be
approximately 17,000 persons and that said
structure be so planned and constructed as
to permit the installation of temporary
seating facilities adjacent thereto; and
that as so modified said written request
be and the same hereby is confirmed and
ratified.
The design and engineering representatives discussed
estimated costs contemplated in connection with the Sports Stadium.
The structure as presently envisaged might cost in the vicinity of
$995,000, said sum not including architects' fees, site drainage,
parking, surfacing, fencing, utilities outside the Stadium area,
score board, or a public address system. It was noted that a total
bonding of $1,150,000 was contemplated. The Building Authority Bond
Counsel stated that with a student enrollment of 15,000 or more, a
student fee of $5.00 would support the bonding program; below
15,000 enrollment the student fee may have to start at $7.00. He
added that reserves on hand could be used to smooth out fluctua-
tions that might otherwise occur in the early phases of financing
this project.
The Building Authority Bond Counsel spoke on the salient
cost factors involved in the Southwest Dormitory project. He noted
that a detailed report is expected to be made available for pre-
sentation to the Board early in 1964. In response to a question on
the timetable of this project, Mr. Pumphret replied that the South-
west Dormitory project is still on schedule and he was hopeful that
this pace could be maintained in order that the first phase of the
project could be completed for September 1965 as desired.
Upon motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED : To approve the minutes of the meeting of
November 22, 1963.
The Treasurer reported that in accordance with the
authorization granted by the Board on November 22, 1963, it had

of the President be raised to $27,500 annually and that such salary
in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 801 shall be
retroactive to July 1, 1963. There was some discussion as to
whether or not this was the maximum that the Board would be able to
do for the President and it was pointed out that in terms of
statutory limitations, this was the maximum although other means
might be found to assist the President, in aiding him ?/ith some of
the heavy burdens of his office and in providing him with firm
support for his leadership of the University. After general
discussion, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : That pursuant to Chapter 801, Acts of
1963, the Board of Trustees approves
the salary of $27,500 annually for the
President of the University of Massa-
chusetts and, in accordance with said

The provisions of Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1958 having
been complied with, and a quorum of the Board of Trustees beii
present and acting throughout, Chairman Boyden called the meeting
to order at 12:35 p.m.
The Chairman noted with regret the serious illness of
Mrs. Kathryn Furcolo and instructed the Secretary to send flowers
on behalf of the Board. He introduced Dr. William C. Venman,
Assistant to the Provost, to the members of the Board.
Trustee Schuck noted that the minutes of the December 20
meeting should be corrected to indicate that Mr. Radford repre-
sented Gordon Bunshaft, architect, of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill,
and that Mr. Levy and Miss Forest represented Paul Weidlinger,
structural engineer. The Acting Secretary pointed out that on
page 3 of the minutes as distributed, the phrase "The Building
Authority bond stated that" should be corrected to read "The
Building Authority Bond Counsel stated that". V/ith these
corrections, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : To approve the minutes of the meeting of
December 20, 1963 as corrected.
By unanimous consent, item 3 on the agenda was taken up.
Trustee Schuck reported for the Chairman of the Building Authority.
She thanked Robert Gordon for his diligent work at the last Board
meeting in presenting the preliminary design of the Sports Stadium.
She informed the Board that the most recent estimate indicates that
the plumbing for the facility can be reduced approximately $100,000
and it may, therefore, be possible to add several rows of seats to
the east and west sides of the Stadium. She stated that at a meet-
ing held January 14, the Building Authority sub-committee had
approved Contracts for Financial Assistance which had been approved
as to form and substance by the Building Authority Bond Counsel.
Summary sheets were distributed to members of the Board which in-
dicated that the maximum cost of Project 4, Southwest dormitories
TRUSTEE
I

2561
UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
for approximately I84O students and the Sports Stadium, would be
$11,000,000 and would be financed by 40-year bonds carrying approxi-.
mately 3§# interest.
The summary sheet on Project 5, the Dining Facility in
the Southwest complex, also was distributed to members of the
Board and indicated a maximum cost of the project of $2,500,000.
Trustee Schuck pointed out that the contracts contained certain
changes from ones previously recommended to the Board. The terms
of the new proposed contracts had been modified to fit the new
statutory requirements governing the Building Authority. Mr. Byrne |
stated that the contracts would require 12 signatures from the
Board and informed the Trustees that land leases from the Trustees
to the Authority are in process of being prepared by the Building
Authority Bond Counsel.
The President raised a question as to the required stu-
dent fees and rentals and the potential effect, in equity terms,
among student costs in different dormitory residences. It
appeared that even with the proposed 40-year bonds that are being
recommended for the first time at this meeting, that student room
rents at present rates might not leave enough for maintenance and
operation of the buildings. Trustee Schuck stated that this has
been carefully considered by the Building Authority and she indi-
cated among other points that the proposed dormitory would have
rooms of a larger size than those contained in recently completed
dormitories on campus. The President asked whether or not informa-
tion was available as to the cost of the proposed Stadium compared
to other stadiums either on a per seat cost or other comparable
basis. Mr. Gordon stated that the estimated cost is $50 per seat
in the structure the Building Authority is planning to erect. He
noted that he had been informed the United States Naval Academy is
spending three to three and a half million dollars for a stadium
holding 29,000 seats, and that the Air Force Academy approached

Authority sub-committee understood the estimated costs are
apparently well below going costs in either pre-cast concrete or
even steel structures of similar capacity. Some Trustees indicated
they would appreciate comparative cost figures on stadium con-
struction to provide guides to their consideration of the matter.
There was extended discussion as to the possible effects of the
proposal on the student athletic fee and the appropriate types of
adjustments that might be required in this connection.
It was noted that there was a difficulty for the Board in
that they were aware of the need to maintain progress on these
projects and yet there was some concern at having received the in-
formation only now. In response to a question, the President statejl
that he had not been receiving minutes from the Building Authority.
Mr. Gordon pointed out that there is a joint University committee
and Building Authority sub-committee that has been working on the
Stadium and members of the University committee have attended a

number of meetings with the Building Authority sub-conmittee, a^
well as accompanying them to a trip to New York City to discuss the
project with the designer. The Chairman of the Buildings and
Grounds Committee stated he has not been informed of progress on
these projects, and that it was difficult to be requested to vote
on matters on which not all the Trustees have been fully informed.
The President stated there lias been cooperation between
University committees and the Building Authority on program
features of the two nrojects but little information has been sent
to the University on the financial aspects. He pointed out he was
especially concerned with the estimate of the $20 per student
maintenance allowance in the cost proposal when the University cost
figures indicate approximately $72 per student is a normal
maintenance expense. It was noted that if the estimates are on the
high side, and if the contingency fund is not required to be used,
the bond issue might be lower, thereby reducing the amortization
charges. Trustee Schuck reminded the Board that the architect
cannot move without a vote of agreement between the Board and the
Building Authority. She stated that among the purposes of the
statutory change in the Building Authority law was a provision to
allow, among other things, the pooling of available resources in
order more effectively to undertake required projects. Trustee
Kiernan asked whether proposed votes and cost estimates could be
given to the Board before the meetings as this would be of con-
siderable aid to many of those Trustees who are not in a position
to follow developing proposals closely.
Mr. Byrnes said that the cost of $1,000,000 for the
Stadium is a budget that cannot be exceeded. Actual costs must be
within this limit and possibly could be lower; further, he noted
that the Board of Trustees must be presented, with firm estimates
before contracts for leasing can be signed between the Board of
Trustees and the Building Authority. After general discussion, it
was moved, seconded and
RESOLVED:

There was some discussion as to the extent of liaison be-
tween the Building Authority and the President's Office. It was
noted that the problem was not one of intention but how this is to
be done and what types of information are desirable for liaison
purposes in order that the University administration will be in a
position strongly to support the Building Authority and in order
that there may be more orderly procedures involving the Board of
Trustees and appropriate committees of the Board. After general
discussion, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED: That the Board of Trustees request that
official liaison be established between
the Board, represented by the President
of the University or his designate, and
the Building Authority.

Board that Dr. Lamar Soutter has accepted with pleasure the appoint
ment as Dean of the University Medical School and that he will re-
port full time for duty on February 24th. His mail address for
the time being will be South College. The President then informed
the Board as to the status of honorary degree candidates.
Chairman Schuck informed the Board that it ?;as her under-
standing that the Phi Beta Kappa application of the University had
received preliminary approval by the Evaluating Committee, which
is the first step on the road to Phi Beta Kappa membership.
Chairman Schuck informed the Board that the Faculty and
Program of Study Committee had carefully gone over the proposed
graduate curriculum changes and recommended Board approval of same.
After general discussion, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : That the Graduate Curriculum changes as
proposed in Document 64-049 are hereby
approved and said document is attached
to and hereby made part of these minutes.
The Chairman called the attention of the Board to the
fact that the proposed Medical Technology program would be of the
so-called "three-plus-one" type, involving three years of campus
academic experience plus one year of clinical training, and would
lead to a bachelor's degree and preparation for certification
examinations. In response to a question, the Chairman stated that
the committee had been informed that approximately 50% of students
interested in Medical Technology programs would still follov/ the

have a policy that would provide for equitable treatment of those
members of the University professional staff who might move from a
non- tenured position to a position in which they hold tenure. The
policy being recommended, which has been reviewed for the Committee
by legal counsel, provides for a basic minimum salary for persons
involved in the types of personnel actions contemplated. After
general discussion, it was moved, seconded and

from a position without tenure to a position
in which tenure is vested, as contained in
Document 64-O4&, which is attached to and
hereby made part of these minutes.
Chairman Schuck called the attention of the Board to
Document 64-O46, Classification of Positions. She stated that
adoption of this document plus the salary adjustments being
recommended would move all of the University professional staff to
the general salary schedule as required by Chapter 64S, Acts of
1962. She called attention of the Trustees to the Office of In-
stitutional Studies' analysis of the effects of the recommended
salary adjustments and she informed the Board of the policies and
procedures that had governed the salary recommendations. She
stated that it would be appropriate for the Board to move to
approve adoption of the Classification of Positions as recommended.

Fox, Frechette, Croce, McNamara,
Brown, T roy, Crowley, Plimpton,
Gordon (representing His Excellency
Governor Peabody) and Mr. Broadhurst,

The provisions of Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1958 havi
been complied with, and a quorum of the Boa^d of Trustees being
present and acting throughout, Chairman Boyden called the meeting
to order at 1:40 o.m.
Mr. Gordon noted that in the minutes of the Board meet-
ing of January 15, the naw of the representative of Paul
Weidlinger, engineer, should be I Forest rather than Miss Forsmaiji,
and he further noted that on pr-.ge 2 of said minutes, the statement
in regard to the Air Force Academy Stadium should read
"that the Air Force Academy approached S100 per seat cost.", and
the remainder of the sentence in the minutes should be deleted.
With these corrections, it was moved, seconded and
VOTED : To approve the minutes of the meeting
of January 15, 1964 as corrected.
The Chairman announced that he had appointed the follow-
ing to the Nominating Committee: Dennis Crowley, Chairman, Joseph
Healey, John Haigis, Harry Brown and Frederick Troy.
President Lederle reported that the matter of University
salary actions had been discussed with the State Comptroller and
his staff and he asked Mr. Broadhurst to report 'briefly on this
meeting. Mr. Broadhurst stated that he had been invited to attend
the meeting by the Assistant Attorney General and that the
discussion focused on the procedures and interpretations followed by
the University Board of Trustees. The meeting also touched upon
the proposed actions contemplated by other institutions which ma:
in effect, result in increases higher than those on a comparable-
basis with the University actions. The basic problem, Mr. Broad-
hurst stated, was to relate the autonomy powers of the University
to Chapter 775 (salary authorizations) that provides a basic 10$
us an additional 10$ to be distributed on a merit basis and to be
>mputed from the total cost of professional salaries during fiscal
year 1963, said distribution to be effective February 1, 196
according to the terms of Chapter 775.

Trustee Kiernan mentioned some of the background of
autonomy for the State Colleges and he mentioned that the Sts
College Board mil meet on February 26 to further discuss the
matter. iwspaper reports of the salary situations were discussed,
including a news -report of questions i by the State
ptroller in regard to the effects of salary actions taken. Re-
vievf also was made of the intent of the Governor's special
committee on con atxon of state employees which was, accord!
to Chairman of the Governor's special committee, intended t
provide a fund for public institutions of higher education equal
to 10f ; of the respective payrolls for me" increases, as
gested that when news reports are erroneous perhaps the
sociate Alumni may be able, working in liaison ith the Uni-
versity administration, to present some c 3 factual aspects of
ie situation and thus minimise possibilities ~ r ov misrepresentation
The President referred to the visit of the Crime
Cora ion representatives, and he stated that he had welcomed
these representatives and provided them with facilities by which
they could, undertake their study, the nature of which they did not
cifically reveal.
The Presiden' -orted that at the moment application^
^or admission have increased 44$ over the same period last year,
and that according to the Dean of Admissions, Y/e have received
approximately 16,600 college entrance board test score referrals.
He indicated that for next fall the University is planning a total
enrollment of 9,520- students, including 2,800 in the freshman
class. The President suggested that if it was desired, Dean Tunis
of the Admissions Office could meet with the Faculty and Program
of Study Committee to discuss the admissions picture in greater
depth.
(At 2:30 p.m., Mr, Broadhurst left)
ident reported to the Board that there will be a
news release, from the legislators concerned, on the Civil Service
bill that would indicate their agreement with the University over
the matter of personnel procedures for non-professional staff, and
that the news release Y/ould state the intention of these legisla-
tors to request withdrawal of their bill on the basis of the
discussion and agreement which they had reached. The President
thanked the Trustees for their assistance in support of the Uni-
versity's position on this matter.
Dean Soutter is in Chicago, said the President, attend-
ing a meetin ' T edical School Deans and among other matters is
investigating the availability of consulting services on the
problem of launching and locating the University Medical School.

The Board also was informed by the President that the
University is in the preliminary stages of thinking of a program
of study abroad. There will be, he said, a three-man teem to
visit Freiburg, Germany, for the purpose of evaluating the
potential of facilities there for such a program. The investigating
trip would be financed by non-state funds.
In reporting on the Governor's budget recommendations,
the President said that the University budget is in ^ooo 1 shape
except for personnel accounts. The amounts authorized for 01 and
0° accounts are not even at the level we are paying in the various
ranks currently for faculty positions. The Treasurer stated that
although, other than personnel accounts, the budget recommended by
the Governor is good — and shows real progress that is
encouraging — some remedial action will be required in the
^sonnel accounts. The Treasurer stated that the Governor has
fully supported the scholarship requests that are essential to
meet the needs of deserving students. It was noted that this level
of scholarship support has been made possible from the transfer of
Icultural Purposes Fund money to the General Fund. In the
special account for the T ibra^ r Catch-Up Prorran, the Treasurer
stated the Governor had continued the past level of $100,000
although $300,000 had been requested in view of the growing nro-
grams at the University requiring expanded library services.
In rerard to the 01 and 02 accounts, the Treasurer noted
that the Governor's recommendation of 53 non-professional
positions is badly needed and greatly welcomed. The University
had requested 100 positions in an effort to improve the 15 to 1
student- faculty ratio in order to better staff the Graduate program
that requires heavy teaching commitments. The Governor in his
budget had recommended continuance of the 15 to 1 ratio which
would provide 81 new teaching positions in view of enrollment
expansion. A further difficulty is caused in that the University
had requested ner; positions at a salary 20f^ above those of last
year in order to cover the nev^ general salary schedule established
under Chapter 775. But somewhere, the Treasurer reported, the
rates for the new positions v r ere calcul^ed at a lower rate, even
lower than the existing rates, which causes serious problems of an
untenable deficiency in the 01 and 02 accounts. Evidently this
deficiency was caused by a computing error rather than a policy
decision. Hopefully these can be corrected. Mr, Gordon stated
that he would look into this matter to see what remedial measures
might be undertaken,
Mr. Healey reported the results of the Executive
Committee meetings held since the last Board meeting and upon
motion being duly made and seconded, it was
VOTED ; To approve the report of the Executive
Committee in regard to honorary degrees.
